Ok so I went ahead and ordered the tow tuff cargo carrier and bike rack. It was a good price and it’ll be useful to carry extra if I don’t carry bikes. Im not sure if I’ll be able to access the tailgate fully yet, but no biggie, I have the tonneau cover and that’ll keep things locked away. I like that it’s a platform and should be easier loading the bikes on/off
Thanks for some real world experience. I e been looking at the Yakima double down and swing away and at the Thule vertex. The vertex offers both a swing away and regular drop down version I believe. I’m just not sure if I want to spend double the cash on a swing away version. I do like that Thule t2, I didn’t think the tailgate would clear it, that’s good to know
Hi all. So I’m going to be taking the fam on vacation next month, and I’m looking into a good 4 bike rack for the hitch receiver. Has anyone used a good one? Any recommendations? I’m looking for something to swing away to access the tailgate, even with the bikes hooked up just in case. We haven’t used a bike rack in years and not at all on a pickup, so any input or ideas will be greatly appreciated!
